Tiny News Collective membership is on an organizational basis. Membership is available to news and information organizations accepted through TNC’s application process, which is based on eligibility criteria around founder readiness, organizational mission and vision, and compatibility with TNC’s support services.
Through piloting our services with cohorts of member organizations, we learned that not all member organizations need the same support services. Similarly, member organizations may need different levels of support at different times of their publisher journey. We created a membership tier structure to accommodate this need, with the goal of making our services as affordable and accessible as possible.
We also offer fiscal sponsorship-only services for organizations that are in need of fiscal sponsorship but do not need TNC member services. For more information, talk to a TNC staff member.
